‘This photographic tribute and primer examines what wilderness really means to individual Americans and why we should remain vigilant in our protection of these lands. By the end of 2006, Congress had preserved more than 700 wilderness areas, representing almost 5 percent of all the land in the United States. Our Wilderness addresses the environmental, educational, economical, and spiritual reasons why wilderness is so important to Americans, and reminds us why we need to protect our lands for future generations. Foreword by Robert Redford.’

OUR WILDERNESS is a visual reminder of our country’s natural beauty and our place in it. In addition it is a primer that examines what wilderness really means to individuals and why we should remain vigilant in our protection of these lands.

I have always felt fortunate to live so close to our state’s spectacular wilderness areas; nothing feeds my soul more than camping in the mountains. So I was enamored with this book. The photographs stand on their own, but it is Scott’s passionate and compelling writing that demonstrates why it is so important that we keep and maintain our untamed lands for future generations. A book not only to have but to share with many.
